Moving Alice's spine upright while retaining hands at waist level

[daystory7]

Hope I am posting in the right place:
I am doing the Coursera course on Animation and Programming in Alice but am stuck. There is no solution code but basically I have an Alice object who bends down to pick up a kite, then she moves fully upright to be standing but with her arms and hands staying extended out at waist level holding the kite and then she releases the kite.

I am stuck because no matter what I do I cannot have the torso spinebase move upright fully so she is standing and leave the arms extended at waist level holding out the kite in front of Alice. I have tried clavicle, I have tried elbows and shoulders turning - no luck.

Any ideas would be great. Truly stuck
